change my dropbox folder name on my PC

I love Dropbox, but this is a weird lack of function. Shouldn't it be really easy to change the Dropbox names?

What if your company changes it's name. Would the root folder have the old name forever?

I have loved Dropbox for years.  Now, I have serious doubts for two reasons:  1).  The "Hard sell" to upgrade to business is offensive and inconsiderate.  2).  Having to suffer through the confusion and inconvenience of removing a team name just because I inadvertently clicked for the free trial of "Business".  This is sad.  

So until I change to another provider, I guess I will continue with the root folder with the name: Dropbox <TeamName>.  CRAP.  Our little bank has about 20 users and I have some influence there since I own the bank. BOO Dropbox. 

This is horrible.  I came here thinking I would find the obvious solution I was missing to this unassumingly simple issue only to find that it has been years in the making. 

First of all I was removed from a shared account for work.  Which apparently forces the DB app to revert the naming convention for the local folder without also giving me the option to first consolidate files out of the separate personal and shared account folders.  So now my local DB folders are unlinked and all of my local DB files are no longer connected to the DB app.  Then what I've learned so far is that I either need to use a clunky unsupported workaround, or re-sync all my 500+ gigs down from the DB servers? 

You guys do understand people use this for working right?  Maybe adding something like a simple "rename Dropbox folder" feature would help greatly, or hell you could even have the Dropbox folder automatically rename itself back to what it was previously for all I care.  Myself and I'm sure many others never want the folder to become unlinked in the first place!  This is bad UX and you know it. 

I'm married to dropbox for years of legacy work. Sync is amazing: I do not work for or endorse them in any way. I own a web design and development shop and just wanted something that works. Doesn't have every dropbox feature , but it has all the ones you use everyday. Been a long time since my first post in this thread, which goes back even further. Sync is awesome, its faster, hogs less cpu, and its very personal/business/multiple account friendly. I'll be paying for both for prob a few years, but I don't mind. Dropbox had every opportunity to fix this. It must be a very expensive and fundamental problem to fix.

I agree 100% and had to tell them the exact same thing. How do you all not know about this? 

Hallelujah!  Thank you, Stefanie!  Just what I needed.

This is terrible. It's May 2017 and still this has not been addressed??

Why is this forum topic marked "SOLVED"? The symlink workaround is not a sufficiant solution. This is not solved.
